Breeding After White Diarrhoea 
I am a small breeder of White Wyan- 
dottes and have had good luck with them 
until last Spring, when I bought 200 
chicks. I always hatched out my own 
chicks with an average loss of about 
three or four chicks to a hundred. I put 
these 200 in with my own and in a few 
days they got white diarrhoea and I lost 
150 of them, of course some of my own 
died with it. I have five pullets and 
three nice cockerels I expect to breed 
from, (’an I not breed from these five 
pullets? Would the male bird transmit 
the disease? a. j. h.

The germs of white diarrhoea may be 
carried by a mature hen that had the 
disease when young and transmitted 
through her eggs to her progeny, but 
exposure to the disease in a flock of 
young chicks does not necessarily mean 
that it must be contracted and, if the 
pullets which you wish to use as breed¬ 
ers did not themselves have the disease 
when small, there is no reason why you 
should not breed from them. Cockerels 
from a flock that showed white diarrhoea 
may themselves be used for breeders if 
they were not affected by that disease and 
display good health and vigor. The diffi¬ 
culty in making up a breeding pen from a 
flock that, as young chicks, suffered from 
white diarrhoea lies in uncertainty as to 
whether some of the mature pullets are 
not survivors of the disease, and, con¬ 
sequently, possible carriers of white diar¬ 
rhoea germs and whether males have not 
suffered in development and vigor from 
like infection. If, in your case, the indi¬ 
viduals that you wish to use as breeders 
were from a different hatch than those 
among which white diarrhoea developed 
and did not acquire the disease from their 
exposure, there is no reason why you 
should not use them. There are tests 
for ascertaining whether mature fowls 
are white diarrhoea carriers, but these 
tests require laboratory facilities that the 
poultryman does not possess, though some 
experiment stations are In position to 
make them. m. b. d.
